Both seemed fairly accurate to temperature when checked against IR temp gun readings, but the humidity readings on mine tended to fluctuate erratically, while my sibling's stayed stuck at a faulty 10% humidity reading regardless of where they placed the probe or how much they misted the enclosure. We're using Acurites now and are much happier with them, in terms of both accuracy and the level of detail in the displayed measurements.
I like the Acurites also but I kept having one in the thirties humidity with mine. I ordered another (box type temp/hygrometer with out the probe) which is what I usually get so I could have one on each end. I put the new one in and it went up to 60 percent. I took the low one out and put it next to the one in the living room (also a box Acurite.) Sure enough it was reading in the 30's next to the one almost 60 percent. So turns out it was bad ( even after a new battery ) So I threw it away ( but it was old). So if someone is having terribly low humidity even after soaking it might be a good idea to check the accuracy of the measurement device even if it is a Acurite which are known for accuracy. It is bad when you keep soaking your enclosure and then find out your Acurite or any type hydrometer was not working properly.
